GTA : London Ed - any good?

[Mike Rotch]

Can anybody give their opinions on GTA London edition? Apparently it is set in the 60's/70's. I have a chance to get a collectors pack consisting of GTA + GTA London + GTA2 for a good price.

Would it be worth it?

They're a good old classic game so if you can get them cheap it'd be good 👍

But you do realise they aren't in 3rd person (if thats the correct term) angle as GTA3 and Vice City are right? They're more or less a birds eye view game.

Do you mean that it from a "Quake" perspective, or do you see the character's back and back of the head sort of thing?

You see the top of their heads and their shoulders.

No faces.

Does it interfere with scrolling or game play?

Mike...

Everything GTA before GTA3 is set in a chopper perspective. You see everything from up above. Zooming in when you're close to a standstill and zooming out if you're driving. And yes - Scrolling is a huge part of it .. The cities are HUGE !.....

Ohh - Should I add - I spend hours and hours in GTA 1 and 2 - and enjoyed it So I'd say, go for it !...

Thanks for the info 👍

My only concern is the view - James Bond Tomorrow Never Dies sucked largely in part due to the view.

GTA 1 and 2 certainly didn't suck back in the days.. But again - It's been a while since they came out, so I suggest you give 'em a try. Especially if you can get them cheap(ish)..

Roger that.

Well I can get the three games for the same price as GTA in the singular, so that is pretty cheap.

EDIT: one more thing - the handling of the cars? Realistic?

Wouldn't worry too much about that

But to answer the question - NO !...

 

[miniMADness]

As it says on the box-
-A unique zooming top-down view
-Outragous Hollywood style car handling
-Over 6000km's of freeways, backstreets, roads, alleyways and dead ends.

Thats what the GTA disk case says, though GTA2 is the best!

 

[Mike Rotch]

Thanks guys

 

[miniMADness]

Hmmm. I would prefer Knock out Kings, but that is rarer then hens teeth, so I will sit on it for a week or so, then decide.

But it sounds like a good deal.....

Wrong.

Max Payne is made by a Finnish developer team called Remedy. You may also know the team from Futuremark's (another Finnish company) 3DMark benchmarks and so...
